Neither does anyone else who doesn't know what the sequence is. If you want help with a specific sequence, then you have to specify the sequence so that someone can help you.

In general, a recursive rule or recursive formula is a formula that depends on knowing the value of the immediately previous element of the sequence to determine the next value. That is, if you know the first value, you can compute the second, then knowing the second, you can compute the third and so on.

To define a sequence recursively, you need to have a starting value, that is the value of the first term, and a rule or function that computes the next value when you know the one before.

Symbolically:

Write back with some details about the sequence in question, and we can help you figure out what and need to be to define that sequence.
